Big improvement on 1/8th mile times

My very first run at the 1/8th mile drag strip ended up being a 10.73.
Tonight I ran a best of 10.403 with a 2.263 60 ft.
Modifications since my first run are the computer modified with the hypertech power programmer, and JBA headers. First run I only had the cat-back exhaust and a bigger MAF. It was also much cooler today, I think my first run it was like 95 degrees out.

...And my first practice run was against a 5.0 Mustang and I beat him just barely lol. I was pulling on him the whole way til a little less then 3/4's of the way down when he started gaining. I ran a 10.54 to his 10.55. Even though it was a practice run it was definately my favorite race.

Re: Big improvement on 1/8th mile times

Auto and probably around 3,600 lbs. I'll be putting in the 4.10 gears shortly, should be interesting to see what it will run with those.

Re: Big improvement on 1/8th mile times

Btw what do you think a 9.3 in the 1/8th can approx. be in a 1/4 mile? There was this Convertible C5, a completely gutted and primered Civic, and a 3rd gen blue Trans Am that all ran this at the track and I'm just curious to what that might be around.

I did a 9.004 at 82.95MPH in the 1/8th mile and pulled a 13.750 at 104.15MPH. This was with the old motor and upgraded 60-1 wheel turbo.
